I once met a photojournalist who was saved by his F2 in the war in Vietnam. He was shot in the face while taking a photo with the F2 and the camera stopped the bullet although the force of the bullet smashed the camera into his nose and broke it. Not a bad trade off though.

I often regret that I didn't swap the film but I console myself with some sour grapes in the hope that they weren't all that good anyway. I'm hoping to add a few stories each week about "all the dumb things" that I've done in the past. Thanks.

Love the little details about each person. Pity you didn't swap the film - would have been great entwined within the story and for future hilarity. Strange police action. Must get their training from American TV. I've added you to my RSS-feeder so I can read more stories like this!! Great story. Love the little details about each person.
